Hi, I just recently got my first car, a '99 Contour SE. It's a four cylinder, but I don't know anything about the engine past that. Is it the Zetec or the Duratec?
When I accelerate heavily with my windows down, I head this SHWEEEEEEEEE and then when the car upshifts the noise goes away. Is this normal or is it something I should get looked at?
Also--my windshield pumps are RATHER anemic. They put this feeble spray of water onto the windshield. Is my water pump dying?
Anything simple I can put on my car to make it go faster?
